I don't care if a 10 year old can set up all the doodads in record time. I want a 16 >17 year old to be able to control a car without driving it into the trees or a shop because some electronic chip failed.
I am one of those elderly drivers who hates keyless activation, self locking, and a distracting tablet stuck to dash that resembles a slab of kitchen bench.
I completely fail to understand why the simple functions of slotting a key into a hole, selecting a lever into 'D', releasing a real 'handbrake' and having a selection of favourite music entertainment to insert into a hole in the dash, have to be replaced by a different method which will be obsolete itself in 10 years.
Yes, I am too old for this ****, but I do enjoy driving my uncomplicated 21 year old dinosaur juice V8.

You don't have to be too old to hate that stuff, I'm closing in on 37 and I find some of these "innovations" to be frustrating to deal with. If you can't even remember to lock your car, then what does that say about you as a driver?
